ugh

Engatwork has a good point.
In fact the same had occurred to me. What if the guy had used a fertilizer bomb or a suicide vest??

People with mental and anti-social problems will resort to most anything in order to act out their 'psycho-drama'.

Therefore, the hypothesis that if guns in general were not available, then its valid to consider that other vehicles can and would be used for acting out such destructive 'psycho-dramas' at whatever scale.

It's all findable on the 'web'

What I see sadly happening from this sad incident is that politicians and political interest groups will begin to fault firearms as an expedient salve and AGAIN neglect the true underlying social problems that pressure and trigger mentally disturbed people.

Consider that these same 'concerned' political groups and bodies, will not raise a finger against the 'entertainment industry' which sets the stage for violent dramas and glamorizes illegal firearm use.

Why? most likely because they funnel too much money to their friends in order to 'write a new script' for USA, the MOVIE.

Poor children. Very SAD. Also the afflicted families....

I think that is unlikely given the skill set required to build such a device and the simplicity of buying a gun.

There will always be a a few mice that are smarted than the rest. I do not think that is a valid reason for doing nothing which is exactly what we are doing.
